Williamsburg went 10-0 for the first time in school history and spearheading the Wildcats defense that allowed just 7.2 points per game during the regular season was Luke Czarnecki. The senior was in on 91 tackles, had 9.5 tackles for losses, four pass breakups and three takeaways (two FRs, one INT) including a pick-six. Those efforts have led to Czarnecki being named the 2025 OPSMA Division V Southwest District Defensive Player of the Year.
Greg Conwell has resurrected the football program at North College Hill. The Trojans went 8-3, their first winning campaign since 2012. The eight victories were the most by the school since 2011. For that Conwell has been donned the 2025 OPSMA Division V Southwest District Coach of the Year.
